Adguard - Ad Blocker

I'm thinking that it was a setting that I was using in Firefox (about:config) and not Adguard.

I say this because, I did a fresh/clean install of Firefox and the slowdown was no longer present.

I just thought it was Adguard, since the slowdown stopped after disabling it, but I honestly think it was a coincidence.

Sorry for jumping in too quickly in assuming that the problem was Adguard, I should have looked into it a little more before posting.

 

Anyone else getting this?

 

Bought Adguard through BitDuJour yesterday but have not received a licence yet. How long does this normally take?

 

v6 beta will be ready this month, now it is for sure

 

Should be done immediately. They have a pool of license keys and should have sent you one directly. If they didn't do it I guess it's better to contact them.

Also if your AG trial is expired, I can generate a temporary license for you. Just PM me to get the key.

 

Is your AG activated with a license key?
Could you please PM me more details on what's going on?

 

Great! July is the month to be beat ... Wimbledon, Tour de France, Win 10 and AG v6 :-D

 

Please Please put extra attention to UI and UX

Windows 10 is coming and it is free and everyone going to install it so the UI and UX of Adguard should match the system style with flat and not 3d icons and shiny

also bigger button for touch friendly will be nice

 

v6 has completely new UI. Flat, bigger buttons, more like modern UI. There is a video somewhere on previous pages

 

We've just released Adguard for Windows 5.10.2051.
I hope this is the last time we were updating v5

Changelog:

• Added Microsoft Edge browser support
• Improved userscripts API speed
• Fixed a bug with saving Adguard Assistant settings
• Userscripts API usage is now restricted by @grant metatag
• Fixed Adguard Assistant work in Opera 12
• Fixed certificate automatic import in Opera 12
• Fixed some issues with CSS/JS injection for pages with invalid HTML code
• Fixed issues with SSL interceptor (connections reset for servers working with TLS 1.0 only)
• Fixed Logjam (Adguard now does not filter connections with weak DH primes)
• Fixed a bug with update cleaning Adguard's start menu folder
• Fixed SSL-filtering in old browsers (IE6, IE7)

Important notice about Logjam. We do not protect you from it, just ignore such connections. Browser decides what to do with it further. So make sure you are using the latest version of your browser.

 

Will Ad Guard ever be able to block ads in Windows metro apps please?

 

I installed 2051 update and still don't see the Assistant Icon when on Yahoo.com...

 

Uh, isn't that why people are buying it?

 

Windows metro apps. The apps used on a tablet.

Right now it currently doesn't block ads in windows metro apps.

 

Have you enabled WFP network driver?

 

Yes.

 

Here is the reply I got off the direct adguard forum.

In my experience, it worked fine.

 

It filters metro/modern apps perfectly fine, you just have to manually add the specific app's executable under Browsers section.

 

When will v6 be available?

 

AG can block ads in modern UI apps.

The problem here is with detecting proper app process. You see, modern apps may be "distributed", web requests could be sent from another process.
Anyway, in v6 we plan to make adding modern app much simpler than it is now.

 

v6 alpha will be available this month, 1-2 weeks from now.

Current status:
1. We have 28 open bugs
2. The app is not yet translated

 

Alpha, not Beta? Are you going to spread alpha build publicly? Usually alphas are intended only for internal testing. Just curious.

 

Heh, alpha is like very buggy beta We will announce it for beta testers on our forum, maybe here as well.

 

OK. Please announce it also here, there is a couple of beta testers as well
